this isn't an attempt to draw anyone away from this forum as I am a big fan of the CNCzone myself but if anyone is interested there is a new yahoo group on the subject of DIY laser cutting/engraving. We hope to cover the building/buying of lasers and the contruction of CNC cutters/engravers. I started the group on Saturday and we already have nearly 170 members.
